Mahaley was a visiting professor who taught students that when a person receives radiation to the brain – whether it’s a high or low dosage – that person can develop brain tumors called meningiomas many years later. Now, 20 years later, Al-Mefty is delving deeper into the subject of radiation-induced meningiomas and recently won an award named in memory of Mahaley. On May 5, Al-Mefty received the Mahaley Clinical Research Award in Orlando, Fla. This national award is given annually to the neuro-oncology investigator who presents the best clinical research paper in the brain tumor field. Mahaley, who was an eminent investigator in neuro-oncology and the former Chairman of Neurosurgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, died in 1992. “Dr. Mahaley was a great person, and it’s very touching for me to receive this award that carries his name,” Al-Mefty said. “I feel very lucky to receive this award because of what it stands for.” Al-Mefty received the award from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Section on Tumors at the AANS annual meeting. He won the award for his research paper, “Radiation Induced Meningiomas: Clinical, Pathological, Cytokinetic and Cytogenetic Characteristics,” which is featured in the June issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery. Al-Mefty is a professor and chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery in the College of Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). He said he would use the $1,000 that accompanied his award to continue his research. Known world wide for his expertise in skull base surgery, Al-Mefty is sought by universities and societies around the world to speak as a lecturer and visiting professor. Prior to coming to UAMS, Al-Mefty served as professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi and Loyola University in Chicago. He is a past president and founding member of the North American Skull Base Society.

Mahaley was a visiting professor who taught students that when a person receives radiation to the brain – whether it’s a high or low dosage – that person can develop brain tumors called meningiomas many years later. Now, 20 years later, Al-Mefty is delving deeper into the subject of radiation-induced meningiomas and recently won an award named in memory of Mahaley. On May 5, Al-Mefty received the Mahaley Clinical Research Award in Orlando, Fla. This national award is given annually to the neuro-oncology investigator who presents the best clinical research paper in the brain tumor field. Mahaley, who was an eminent investigator in neuro-oncology and the former Chairman of Neurosurgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, died in 1992. “Dr. Mahaley was a great person, and it’s very touching for me to receive this award that carries his name,” Al-Mefty said. “I feel very lucky to receive this award because of what it stands for.” Al-Mefty received the award from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Section on Tumors at the AANS annual meeting. He won the award for his research paper, “Radiation Induced Meningiomas: Clinical, Pathological, Cytokinetic and Cytogenetic Characteristics,” which is featured in the June issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery. Al-Mefty is a professor and chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery in the College of Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). He said he would use the $1,000 that accompanied his award to continue his research. Known world wide for his expertise in skull base surgery, Al-Mefty is sought by universities and societies around the world to speak as a lecturer and visiting professor.
